Tag (2018)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is my first review ever. Why? Because it was such horrible movie. A wasted ensemble of great comedic actors. The likable Ed Helms develops into an accidentally infuriating individual in this movie. Everything seemed just so manufactured. From the first interaction to the life and death situation. You'll be able to tell what happens next in every scene. You can see some chemistry, but it all falls flat as it gets too over the top (annoyingly) and repetitive. You will certainly end up caring lesser and lesser for the characters in the movie. Do yourself a favor and watch blockers instead. I feel bad for Jeremy Renner since he could've been in Mission Impossible: Fallout and/or Avengers, but instead he showed up in Tag. Can you say career suicide? If this is his only appearance in a movie for 2018 he's sure to lose some fans. If only I could give it a zero.

In a time when they don't make such great movies anymore, this one, although based on what 'mature' people would call a silly idea, is very well done. It makes you laugh and have fun, but it also delivers a message I couldn't agree more with: "we don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing" ... or something like that. You see negative reviews for this movie (bar the obviously paid 1 ratings of some idiots who didn't even watch it) exactly because many people grow old prematurely: they get obsessed with their jobs, with making money they can't enjoy until they get old and incapable of enjoying things anymore, with living for others and not themselves or giving up on their way of life for what others tell them it's 'appropriate'. The fact that this movie is loosely based on a real story makes it even more enjoyable and fun - apparently, there's still hope for people in the world and I can only guess how fun it would be to be one of them, hahaha!Back to the actual movie, it is filled with quality humour, but also some crude humour that prematurely old parents would tell you it's not 'safe' for kids - forget that nonsense, kids will love it too, it's not like they don't do it between themselves anyway. The movie strikes the right balance between delivering an accurate and positive message of enjoying life (despite the social conventions that tell you not to) and not taking itself too seriously, while also expertly and subtly poking fun at some of the nowadays social obsessions (e.g. the 'fake' hysteria, the media's reputation, and so on) for very brief moments during its playtime. It's also quite packed with 'action' and doesn't let you get bored for a second, all within the context of the competitive nature of the game.Normally, this would have been a solid 8, but I raised it to 9 as its message is perfectly suited for my taste (as I mentioned above) and to 10 because I couldn't believe that even for a comedy like this there are losers that can rate it 1 star ... without even seeing it. I'm all against censorship, but such interest driven 'reviews' will ruin the credibility of various sites (IMDB included) in the medium and long term. Maybe that's the actual interest in this, if you think about it...

If you want an easy and funny film to watch, then this is it. Following the story of a group of friends who never wanted to stop 'playing' and manage to keep a game of TAG going for 30 years. It's a great story on an amazing bond of friends throughout their lives.The plot is really good. The Jeremey Renners character is quite funny how he breaks down his 'detective' theories and how to escape. The film, in my opinion, delivered. I would recommend it. Watch with family and friends ... I'm sure at the end you will try and figure out how to implement this with your group of friends and family.

I enjoy a good comedy but this movie just does not fit the bill. It's a try hard action/comedy with a good cast but it fails to deliver a decent story that in the least keeps you interested. The funny parts are old and tiresome. Definitely no belly aching lol worthy moments at all. Super hot reporter chick that just decides, very randomly, to follow the group, no plausible explanation given. Main untagable character has like superhero/action hero powers, but, this movie is based on a true story... the flop goes on and on. The worst part is that I was looking forward to this movie. Do your self a favor and skip this garbage. Score: 2
